Training Calendar

Precision Applications, LLC will be holding a Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter Level 1 course on January 11-12.

You only have to take 1 of the weekends. The training days will start at 8am and run until approximately 5pm.

4321 Macland Rd
Powder Springs, GA 30127

The cost for this course is $400 per student, paid in advance to hold your slot. I will be limiting this course to 12 students. If you have taken this course before, I highly recommend taking it again. This is by far the best training venue we have used for this particular course and offers many unique scenarios not present in our previous training courses.

This class will satisfy the prerequisite for the Level 2 Force-on-Force Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter I am holding at the same location on February 22-23.

If you sign up for both courses at once, you will receive a 10% discount off of each course.

The purpose of the first day of this course is to teach you to properly clear your own residence, in the case of a burglary/home invasion. I'm not advocating house clearing on your own, but if you are in one part of the home while your significant other is in another part, it would be a good idea to be able to safely move and link up. In addition, many of the elements of room clearing are the same as techniques used in Active Shooter Response.

The second day of this course concerns possible tactics to be used in the event that you are caught up in an Active Shooter situation.

Topics covered for this portion of the course include, but are not limited to:
-Combat Mindset
-moving down hallways and through intersections
-entering doorways
-clearing rooms
-transitioning from one room to the next
-working individually and as a team of 2
-working in daylight and limited visibility/darkness
-the pros and cons of different weapon systems
-choosing and enhancing a defensive position
-If you choose to engage an Active Shooter, how to move, locate, and close with

Gear list:
Handgun with holster and covering garment
You can use an inert training pistol, or disable your handgun with a Blade Tech training barrel to render it safe. Contact me prior to the class if you have any issues or concerns with this. I have "blue guns" that I will loan to folks that don't have a means to render their handgun safe, or don't care to.
If you have a long gun (carbine, shotgun, SMG, etc) that you use for home defense, bring it as well. We will discuss the pros and cons of each system, so run what ya brung.
For long guns, I prefer a flag safety device or similar so that we can render them safe. If you don't have one, I have several I will loan out. If you are running some sort of AR, a Blade Tech training bolt (about $15) will be required.
At least 1 handheld flashlight. If you have weapon-mounted lights, excellent, bring those as well, but you will still need a handheld flashlight.

Precision Applications, LLC will be conducting Force-On-Force training in our Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter Level 2 course on February 22-23.

The training days will start at 8am and run until approximately 5pm.

4321 Macland Rd
Powder Springs, GA 30127

The cost for this course is $500 per student, paid in advance to hold your slot. I will be limiting this course to 12 students. If you have taken this course before, I highly recommend taking it again. This is by far the best training venue we have used for this particular course and offers many unique scenarios not present in our previous training courses.

The Level 1 Force-on-Force Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter is a prerequisite for this course. If you have taken that course from us in the past, that will work. If you have not, we will be doing the Level 1 course at the same location on January 11-12.

If you sign up for both courses at once, you will receive a 10% discount off of each course.

We will provide handguns, ammunition, helmets, and throat guards. Groin protection will not be provided, but is recommended for both sexes.

If you have a holster to fit a Glock 17/22, with or without a light attached, please bring it. If you do not have a holster and need to borrow one, please let us know when you sign up and we will have one to loan you. You will also need a magazine pouch to hold a minimum of 1 magazine and a handheld flashlight, even if you are planning to use a WML.

Students may wear what they wish, and supplement the provided protection with their own.

Basic Precision Rifle Course

March 14-15, 2020

Class will be held at the Elk River Training Center on their 1,000 yard range

4626 SR 50
Pelham TN 37366

Both days will start at 0800hrs Central Standard Time and run until approximately 1700hrs CST. There will be a 1 hour lunch break each day.

Cost for the course is $600. Limited to 10 students.

DAY 1
Topics covered will include (but aren't limited to):
Selection, care and maintenance of the entire system (rifle, scope, rings, mounts, ammunition, bipod, cases, etc.). This includes a comprehensive disassembly and other Armorer's tips.
Marksmanship basics
Use of optics (including adjustments and all other functions)
Use of data book
Zeroing
CCB/CHB/HFB
We’ll shoot to approximately 500 yards on Day 1.

DAY 2
Use of a mil- and MOA-based reticles for ranging unknown distance targets.
Use of hold-offs as compared to dialing dope.
We will pick up where we left off on Day 1, and continue out to 1,000 yards. I will be working with each shooter to fine tune their skills and fix any issues they have.

We will shoot in 2 relays, so one relay can learn the proper techniques that a Spotter needs to assist the Shooter. All students will shoot to 1,000 yards.

Gear list will include:
Rifle capable of 1MOA. Bolt actions and semi-automatics are both welcome
Quality optics. The following features are mandatory on the optic:
-Finger adjustable turrets with audible/tactile “clicks”, MOA or mil are fine
-Ranging reticle, mil or MOA based are both acceptable
Ammunition, 200 rounds. Ammunition must be "match grade" from a reputable manufacturer, or known handloads of equal or better accuracy
Data book w/ calculator (any calculator that multiplies and divides will work. I highly recommend the Storm Tactical modular rite in the rain databooks)
Rifle-mounted bipod, or front rest
Rear bag(s) (optional)
Shooting mat (optional)
Minimum 5 “dummy” rounds
Spotting scope (optional)
Eye and ear protection
Clothes and footwear appropriate to the weather. If it rains, we train, as long as there is no thunder/lightning.
If you are military/LE, it is preferred that you use your duty gear, body armor and other ancillary equipment that you will use on duty. Train like you fight!

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Contact me prior to enrolling and let me know what rifle and optic you plan on using.

2. It is preferred that your rifle be fully assembled and sighted in with a recent 100 yard zero prior to the class. The zero must be done with the ammunition that you will be using in the class. I offer my services for free to any of my students who need assistance with any rifle or optics work, or zeroing, that they may need.

3. Ammunition must be “match grade” from a known manufacturer, or handloads that you have shot out of the rifle you are bringing to the class and are sure of their accuracy.

4. A bipod or ruck to shoot off, as well as a rear bag. For a bipod, I highly recommend the Harris BRM-S (6”-9”, notched leg, swiveling). I have bipods and rear bags to loan during the course.

5. If you don't have some sort of adjustable cheekpiece, or cheekpad, I recommend one. The comb of your stock needs to be high enough that your cheek bone rests on it naturally when you have a perfect sight picture, not your jawbone or the middle of your cheek. Ask several of my former students and they'll tell you this makes a HUGE difference.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about any of your gear. I would rather sort the problems out ahead of time than have you show up at the class with gear that won't work, or that is set up wrong.

I will reiterate, I offer my services for free to students when it comes to mounting up scopes/bases/rings (including lapping the rings), weighting and texturing stocks, and any other tweaking that your system may need. I will also assist in getting your rifle zeroed prior to the class.

If you are a LEO, contact me about POST credit.

Other than confirming 100yd zeroes, all targets will be reactive steel.
